France captain Kylian Mbappé will miss his team's World Cup qualifier against Iceland on Monday because of a right ankle injury, France's football federation (FFF) said Saturday.

The Real Madrid star scored in France's 3-0 victory over Azerbaijan on Friday but limped off the pitch in the 83rd minute. Just before the international break, he had hurt the same ankle while playing against Villarreal .

France confirmed that their star forward would not make the trip to Reykjavik, and that he would instead return to Madrid.

"Upon the French delegation's return to Clairefontaine, the French team captain spoke with Didier Deschamps," FFF said in a statement.
